AprilSeptember 18, 2016I was a bit weary to try "Southern" food up here but this place was on point. The gumbo was really good, cornbread with the right amount of sweetness and the pulled pork was great. Excellent service!
Michael Palin and his 16+ piece Other Orchestra FREE every Tuesday 8-10PM. Come here some of the best musicians in CT work out new and familiar material, with great food, drink, and service!
Sasha NaomiFebruary 21, 2015The fried chicken is amazing! The jambalaya is amazing! Has a slight kick to it. Make sure they bring you hot cornbread! Live Music on various nights... GreAt for bar, date night and family

Karen EberhardtJuly 20, 2013A must visit to have a mal while in Hartford. Fried okra and pickles, St Louis rubbed ribs, collard green were fabulous. Also, a pretty view of the Soldier's Arch of Bushnell Park from the window.- AprilOctober 26, 2016The best place to eat downtown. Live music during today's visit. Pictured is St. Louis ribs, fried catfish, red beans and rice.
Fiona BenjaminFebruary 15, 2020I’ve been coming here for yrs. They’d The ribs & chicken are great.Took my little niece for the first time and she was euphoric. She loved the Mac & cheese with fried chicken.
PT6 NationSeptember 15, 2011The best BBQ in Hartford and a lively crowd can be found at Black Eyed Sally’s. Check the website for the line up of bands, where you’ll find great local blues music almost every night.
Miriam CFebruary 26, 2014I love the gumbo! Very comfortable atmosphere. Easy to sit at the bar as a single person. Everyone is super friendly.
Andrew FurmanJune 3, 2015Great pulled pork sandwich. A tiny bit dry for my taste, but that's nothing that BBQ sauce can't fix.
John KellyJune 3, 2014Excellent food, big portions. The pulled pork and the cornbread were excellent
Fantastic food, best red beans and rice I have ever had! Great music too!
Terence ChanAugust 18, 2015Cool vibe and decor. Food was disappointing overall. Ribs were bland and dry. Brisket was forgettable. Service was slow. Get the sausage and catfish if you must. 2.5/5
Renee C.June 29, 2012Stop by Wednesday's nights for the rockin' blues open mic, and be treated by the sight of real swing dancing!
Hartford UndergroundJanuary 24, 2012The Wednesday night Open Blues Jam hosts amazing local musicians for free! Music and dancing starts at 8:30pm!
Lauren DolyakJune 25, 2012Damn good chicken, collard greens & dirty rice is the way to go. Delish!!!!!!!
The fried green tomatoes, new to the menu, were delicious!
Suzanne WestSeptember 25, 2012The fried catfish was outstanding especially with the Remoulade Sauce!
Get the cornbread and honey butter. You won't be sorry. :)
Monday night live jazz is worth staying up on a school night!
Sylvester McGovernJanuary 24, 2017Nothing is good here. Chicken was dirty with feathers still on the wing. Mac and cheese was dry af. Collard greens were soggy. I hate here
